Figure
Scaling fastFigure is growing engineering sharply—315 engineers now—while absorbing 87 new hires in 90 days, a net gain of 70. The build-out centers on data operations and program management: recent arrivals include an AI Data Operations Manager, a Senior Manager of Data Quality, and multiple Engineering Program Managers. Meanwhile, senior AI talent is exiting to Google DeepMind and Apple, with losses in AI behaviors engineering and data-creator roles. The talent pipeline draws from Tesla (5 hires), Meta (4), and Apple (2), signaling Figure is pulling robotics and AI experience from the usual suspects to operationalize its humanoid platform at scale.
